What is Marutatsu uni?
Marutatsu is one of Hokkaido's established uni processors. This is their Bafun uni (馬糞雲丹) — the sea urchin variety with a deeper, more concentrated flavor than Murasaki. The color is a uniform orange, the taste is sweet, and the texture is firm but melts on the tongue.
Bafun uni runs toward an intense, concentrated sweetness (甘味 / amami) with a deep umami — the richer, more pronounced of the two main uni types, where Murasaki is the lighter and creamier. Each tray is packed in a traditional floral-design box.

How to enjoy
Eat it fresh and plain to taste the concentrated sweetness — straight from the tray, over warm rice as a uni donburi, or on sushi. Its deep flavor (甘味 / amami and umami) needs nothing more than a little fresh wasabi or a few grains of salt. Keep it cold until the moment you serve it.
Pairing notes — warm rice, fresh wasabi, sea salt, nori, and a dry or sparkling sake.
